Random post but I just saw this headline in a South Dakota newspaper: "Woman arrested with .7 blood alcohol level sentenced." And I thought to myself...that must be a typo...because i'm pretty sure during orientation week at Amherst I learned that .4 was usually toxic. But after reading the article http://www.argusleader.com/article/20100223/UPDATES/100223067 I realized it wasn't a typo and this woman actually had 9 times the legal limit in her system.
Crazy South Dakota news for the day. But seriously, some of you science people, isn't this nuts?
According to Wikipedia, the "Behaviors" associated with BAC > 0.4 are "Unconsciousness, Death."
